Platform Shoes

You can never have too many pairs of shoes – ask some of our employees, some of who have over 100 pairs not including flats or boots. We asked a few if they owned platform shoes and the immediate answer was “Let’s go shopping!” Elvis Costello always liked to “Pump it Up” and that’s what we like to think of the platform shoe. Pumping up all aspects to get the height without the heel-hurt. But don’t be fooled, platforms are not just flat, they can still have that secretly desired arch and a bit of flare. Trust us on this one, these shoes were definitely made for walking.

A fun way to change up your wardrobe is the growing-popular kimono. When you first hear that word, you automatically think of the Japanese style however this trend is far from is. From Coachella to Manhattan all the way to Dallas girls of all ages and sizes are rocking this trend. The light and airy texture of kimonos is what gives it its unique flare. It’s too hot sometimes to wear a stuffy cardigan or long jacket which makes it perfect. Texas heat, you’ve met your match.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes we just want to be comfortable all the while still looking cute, especially on those casual Fridays. Luckily we’ve discovered just how to do that: the grown-up graphic tee. I know what you’re thinking, you don’t want to look like a teenager or some rocker that just stepped out of a concert but when paired with a cute pair of jeans and a wedge it gives off the ultimate laid back shabby-chic look. All the characteristics of a thoughtful, well planned-out outfit with minimal work.
